Photonic crystal fibres have wavelength-scale morphological microstructure running down
their length. This structure enables light to be controlled within the fibre in ways not …

We made an all-silica optical fiber by embedding a central core in a two-dimensional
photonic crystal with a micrometer-spaced hexagonal array of air holes. An effective-index …

This book provides a comprehensive overview of the chalcogenide glass science and
various applications based on the glasses. It starts with a review on the glass-forming ability …

The concept of photonic bandgap fiber-based surface plasmon resonance sensor operating
with low refractive index analytes is developed. Plasmon wave on the surface of a thin metal …

We study a 3D-printed hollow core terahertz (THz) Bragg waveguide for resonant surface
sensing applications. We demonstrate theoretically and confirm experimentally that by …

The wavelength dependence and the structural dependence of leakage loss and group
velocity dispersion (GVD) in air-core photonic bandgap fibers (PBGFs) are numerically …

Modes of photonic crystal (PC) line-defect waveguides can have small group velocity away
from the Brillouin zone edge. This property can be explained by the strong interaction of the …

With the rapid advance of integrated optics, the importance of optical waveguides, which are
the fundamental elements of optical integrated circuits, has been widely recognized. For …

It is possible for core leaky mode to couple with cladding defect leaky mode when the
cladding defect is close to fiber core. Dispersion properties and propagation loss of core …

We investigate dual concentric core and microstructure fiber geometries for dispersion
compensation. Dispersion values as large as-59 000 ps/(nm km) are achieved, over a broad …
